Life imitates giallo
A young woman was killed by an umbrella tip to the eye in Rome’s subway Thursday. Paging Lucio Fulci, a sharp implement to the eye he hadn’t, as far as I know, thought of. If horror and slasher movies really did influence people to imitate them, this sort of thing should be commonplace in Italy… Along with people being pulled through window panes head first, then stabbed in the heart, then thrown through a skylight and hung, the shards of glass killing some other people who happened to be standing under the skylight. Not to mention the seeing-eye dog attacks.
